Zurich Citizens News, 1969-07-24, Page 15THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1969 ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS PAGE FIFTEEN Skippin` O'er SPORTS with "Red" McIntosh Playoff time is almost here for the Iluron-Perth Baseball league. Some of the positions are still in doubt so all the rained out games are being played to see what position has been won by each team. The games against Walkerton are counted as exhib- ition contests and are not includ- ed in the standings, which were were unable to get. Only four teams are eliggable for playoffs. Mitchell and Thorndale were running one-two in the standings, Dashwood ended the season by winning six straight games and ended with 14 points. Zurich, Clinton and St. Marys all had eight points the night of the meeting and the results of the remaining games would show the winners of the last playoff spot. The Zurich Minor Athletic Association softball season is in its second week and some healthy scores have been registered. Monday night the Cards scored 21 runs in one inning and thumpec the Dodgers 44-24. Four players scored three runs in one inning in the game. This is something that is not accomplished very often. The people who are marking the score sheets for these games have nor indicated inning changes and have just stroked out the player's name when he left the line-up, so, we are unable to know who the players were that scored the triple runs in one inning. We ask that the scorer nark the inning when a player comes into the ball game and not to scribble out the preceeding player's name so we hope this will enable us to give a better account of the games to the readers. When we lived in Zurich a few years ago we could not understand why the Kings did not hold many practices, but we weren't married then and had lots of time on our hands and the ball diamond, whether it be a game or a practice, was a good Gingerich Hitters To Strong For Charlies Nine Second -place Charlies Auto Sales made a strwng bid to defeat league -leading Gingerich, scoring nine runs in the first four innings while giving up only seven. However. Charlies seem- ed to tall apart atter the fourth as Gingerich's blanked them in the remaining five inngs, allow- ing only 18 batters to Cie plate. Gingerichs score one in the fifth and one in the sixth to tie the game, and then gained the 15- 9 victory with a five -run outburst in the seventh and added on insurance run in the eighth. Cliff Gingerich and Richard Shantz shared the pitching duties for Gingerichs, with Shantz earning the victory. Jerry Rader and Kevin Mc Kinnon served on the mound for the losers. Four Gingerich batters, Lloyd Lostell, Gary Gingerich, Tony Bedard and John Gascho knocked out three hits each. Glenn Gascho and Cliff Gingerich hit two each, including a home run by Gingerich, while Richard Shantz and Don Parsons each had singles. Jerry Rader led Charlies' effort with two singles and a double, with Dave Stark, Richard Turk- heim and Pete Regier and Ron Desjardine adding two each. Richard Schilbe and Ray Fink- beiner each hit safely once. George Sweeney, George Haggitt and Albert Hoffman were on hand to officiate the game, place to oe. Today, we can understand why the rerun does not have many practices. The guys who are !married have enough to do arou- nd the house without having to be at the ball diamond every night. We couldn't get this through our thick head before but now that we have ,just got a little older and wisened up a wee bit, we can understand how much time a man has for ball. Playing two nights a week is almost too much for them without having to practice. We apologize, players, and their wives, for our previous criticism. Now we are on the married side of the fence, we see what the problem is. Barbers Use Nine Run Outburst To Record Victory Over Bluewater l'he heavy' hitting of Aubrey Bedard and Eric Sutale led the Barber Boys to 0 19-12 win over the 13iuewcttcr nine for their fourth victor) of the season in Zurich Ree League Softball play, Bedard contributed three singles, a double, and a home run, 'v hi le Smale added two singles, a two -bagger, and a homer. The Barbers showed great strength in the first three innings, as they scored twelve runs: two in the first, nine in rhe second, and one in the third: while keeping their opponents off the score sheet. however, the Blucwater squad blanked rhes in the fourth and scored single runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. Merner's bays bounces back in the fifth and sixth, counting seven more runs, their last of Clic game. The last three innings were strong ones for the Blue water boys who threatened to tie the game, blanking the Barbers and crossing the plate nine times. Unfortun- ately for the Lakers, their effort was too late for a success- ful comeback, and the Barbers emerged victors. Phil Overholt pitched the liar- -bers to victory, giving up four- teen hits, walking eight, and strking out seven, Dave Durand took the loss. The other Barber Boy sluggers besides Bedard and Sulale, were Phil Overholt, Shane McKinnon., and Larry Bedard with two each, and Bob Johnston, Paul Corriveau .Jilts Bedard, Gary Geoffrey and Dave McNair with one each. Paul Charrette and Steve Denonnne each bad three hits for the Bluewater while Larry Denomtme, Bernie Denontule, Tem Rau, and ]lave Durand contributed two hits apiece. Doug O'Brien Spoils No-hitter Joe Berberick and Paul O'Breich combined to hold the Zurich Kings to one lone hit as Walker- ton blanked Zurich 6-0 in Huron - Perth Baseball league play last week. Don O'Brien hurled for the losers and yielded six hits in the eight inning games. Walkerton's catcher, Mortimer, scored twice for the winners while single runs were added by Allan Hunter, Berberick, Condy and Bester. Mortimer's hit was a home run and accounted for three of the Walkerton runs in the first inning. Other hits by the Bruce County team were by Ilenry, Brinley, Condy, Bester and Thompson. A fifth inning double by Doug O'Brien was the only hit the Kings managed in the game. It came after Berberick had set down the first twelve Zurich batters. O'Brien got on base again when he was hit with the ball and Earl Wagner walked. Everyone ER AT HURON MOTOR PRODUCTS 4 Pontiac Wagon V-8, auto., radio, Lic.
